Garnier Fructis Hair Food Watermelon Conditioner

I have fine, thin, flat, smooth silky hair naturally.

Packaging - very colourful, eye catching and appealing, great that it is recyclable too. It is great that this product is vegan and has all natural ingredients.

Fragrance- I love that the smell is so refreshing, not overpowering fruity watermelon smell. However, when I have washed it off my hair, the smell became so subtle, I can barely smell any watermelon.

Texture- quite thick and because I have thin hair , I didn’t need to use much at all, a little goes a long way.

Volume -I usually leave my hair to airdry. This conditioner did not leave my hair flat, I can see that my hair has a slight bounce and volume.

Usually with conditioner, I would expect that my hair will be soft, silky, easy to comb and will not tangle easily this. My hair still had tangles after I washed this off, it wasn’t easy to just comb my hair.

Yes, it certainly gives volume , but I wanted a product which can make my hair look and feel smooth, silky and also volumised. I will not buy this at all because there are just better conditioners out there.

Loved this conditioner - smells divine, is really thick & creamy, and leaves my hair feeling super soft and shiny. It definitely gave my hair movement but I wouldn't say it added more volume. Absolutely love it though, would definitely repurchase.

Like it's shampoo counterpart this Garnier line has been designed to look ridiculously cute! The scent is so yummy that you just want to eat it.

Very moisturising conditioner indeed! I am still trying to learn my lesson of using less product than I normally would.

The conditioner was great on my knotty hair and I didn't need much to deal with my fine damaged hair. It's always getting tangled, so I value that a lot!

Overall, pretty happy with this product because the main thing I look for in a conditioner is its ability to detangle and without needing a lot of product.

Let's start with the pro's of this product: - The fragrance: Oh. My. Gosh. Think summer fruit cocktails at a bbq with friends. This fragrance is DIVINE, and smells almost good enough to drink (please refrain from doing this, but it is THAT good!). It's 96% Vegan and no 'nasties' which is always a good thing, especially when it comes to my precious mane. The promise of more volume came through, although there was a catch, see the not so great stuff paragraph below. You have to always give a product props when it delivers on its marketing promises. Value for money: I loved how little I needed of this product to get good coverage over all my hair. A little really does go a long way and one of these 350ml bottles would actually last longer than a 500ml bottle of my normal conditioner does. Now for the not so great stuff: although this product delivered on its 'more volume' promise, unfortunately it came at the expense of softness and shine. By the end of the trial period my hair was noticeably 'rougher' and a lot less shiny than normal. I was also struggling to get a wide tooth comb through my hair when it was wet after washing with this product. Initially my hair felt smooth after washing the conditioner out, but it was a different story when it came to trying to detangle and style afterwards. Unfortunately the divine smell and other pros of this product don't outweigh the not so great stuff, which was so disappointing as I would have gladly switched my normal haircare regime for these products - which is the highest praise I can give any product.

It has a yummy watermelon scent, same as the coordinating shampoo and hair mask. It's not a particularly strong fragrance, which can be a positive or a negative depending on your preference.

I consider it a good conditioner overall. It performed exactly as you would expect a conditioner to perform. Similar to the shampoo, it squeezed out easily, lathered nicely and rinsed out quickly. The small bottle size was easy to work with. It would be great for typical use, though I don't think it's really a deep conditioner. It left my hair feeling nice, but not super silky like I often get with conditioners. It's best used in conjunction with the matching watermelon hair food.

With fine, flat hair, I am exactly who this product was designed for, but I didn't think it performed better in the volume department than other conditioners. The results weren't bad, to be clear, just not special.

I'm not sure that it's worth the cost, to be completely honest. Yes, it's a good conditioner, but I didn't feel like it performed better than more cost effective conditioners. If you can get it on sale, it could be good.

Thanks BR for selecting me for this trial of shampoo, conditioner and hair food mask - (see seperate reviews for the others). Love this conditioner - the packaging is great very appealing to the eye and neat compact easy to handle bottle looks great in bathroom. The conditioner was white and quite thick and not runny like other conditioners I've tried and you only needed a small amount i was really surprised! Infact i dont tend to use conditioners as never found one that's suitable until now! Smells fabulous it was the best smelling of all 3 products. Easy to rinse out, hair felt really soft and was easy to comb through and didnt weigh my hair down, definitely had volume which i loved most of all. Using the shampoo and conditioner my hair looked less greasy than it normally does the following day. I will definitely buy this again to use on a regular basis although may look to buy it on special and stock up

Really impressed with this conditioner! Firstly, the packaging is simple but cute, it reminds me of those raw juices you can get from the supermarket, and it’s made out of recycled materials! I’m not a huge fan of watermelon but I like this scent, it’s not too overpowering but it’s nice and fresh. The idea of ‘discovering the menu’ is a cool idea too, as all the new range is fruit scented. Now to the actual product! I have really fine hair and this worked nicely for me! It helped my hair feel light and lifted, it didn’t weigh my hair down at all. I also have oily hair and this helped my hair not get as oily throughout the day! I didn’t have to use as much dry shampoo as usual. My hair is pretty limp and not the most shiny usually, but this conditioner has made my hair feel super smooth and much stronger, and added so much shine! Usually when I wash my hair some comes out, but I didn’t notice any strands coming out, and I think it’s due to this conditioner. I love how this conditioner is silicon-free, that’s something that I look for in my hair care. It’s vegan, cruelty-free and mostly plant-based, with no nasty chemicals. Its absolutely amazing to know that such a huge company like Garnier is going in this direction. If all big companies did this the world would be a better place!!

Thanks BR for putting me on this trial by Garnier!

I have thin fine hair that is very limp and dull so I was really excited to trial this product (together with the shampoo and mask). This product claims: detangles, volume and fast rinse. It is also a new vegan formula that is 97% natural origin ingredients, the packaging is made up of 50% recycled plastic and is 100% recyclable. I love these movements made by Garnier.

First of all, my hair doesn’t particularly tangle, probably because it’s quite thin so this isn’t an issue that I could really judge on. However I can say this product does give volume and was fast rinsing. What was really noticeable was how light it felt in my hair, it didn’t feel like that “slimy” feeling a lot of conditioners have while washing. I only used a small amount and it was easy to rinse out. I did use this with the shampoo so I’m unsure what effect this product has without the shampoo. However I did love matching it with the shampoo so I wouldn’t use this separately.

My hair felt incredibly soft after using, my hair had incredible volume, it felt really clean and looked really shiny as well. I’ll definitely be using this again! Oh and my hair smelt incredible!
